Just bought it just played it, loved it
02:56 – You also have to put a data token on the bonus spaces between the data upgrade slots. There's a little circle, and you get the bonus when you cover it. When you showed the line of data, you skipped two significant spots. It takes 6 data minimum before you can Analyze Data. 🙂
You are literally one of the only board game reviewers I can't watch without cringing.
Good to know, that I don't have to dip my toe in alien feces, at all! Thanks! Awesome review, bought the game 😀
Thank you mate. This has become my #1 game of all times 🙂
You are literally one of the only board game reviewers I can watch without cringing.
Quality review – it places SETI on my radar, where I had previously done a pretty decent job of glossing over it.
I’m still on the galactic fence about whether to Persue this one. The lack of interest with limited and hugely variable aliens puts me off. Hopefully I can try before I consider the buy.
Your video & editing are fantastic.
The reference to sniffing Stefan Feld made me laugh out loud.
Over the weekend we played SETI and Terraforming Mars. Both were first plays ever. We felt SETI was deeper and more interesting. Would you agree and would you consider SETI a terraforming mars "killer"?
Thank you for your great video. Always watching.
I appreciate the review, but I just can't get excited by big Euros any more. My eyes glazed over straight after Uranus got probed.
You had me at “prove Uranus”…great review man
🎧🚐🇵🇱
I played a couple days ago and there's already a rules conflict between you and the person who taught us (whether or not probes can land. My teacher said they can't). That's the beauty of these super heavy solo solitaire Euro games. Who knows what the actual rules are and after a while, who cares, just let the game end.
I didn't have "sniffing Stefan Feld's foreskin" on my game-review bingo card … but here we are… 🙂
My copy will be here tomorrow!
Always a laugh!
You better do that play-through of ANYTHING at some point or I will make a sausage barm with mayonnaise. I'm serious!
Really glad that this isn't shit. I really want this one. Looked at it yesterday in Travelling Man, but its a bit pricey for mid January.! 😂 Ill have a look again next month.
Was thinking about getting this but I think it will get very boring very quickly, and any game that relies on an (bound to be expensive) expansion to be interesting beyond a few plays is not a good game.
Both times I've played this game I've managed to be sou day ahead for the first two thirds of the game and then somehow lost by about 10 points. So I don't think the runaway leader is a valid point.
Was after this before xmas but couldn't get it. Got to play it yesterday and while I appreciate the game, I'm glad I don't own it. I like a brain burner and this is one and reminds me of Woodcraft in terms of not enough time, too many decisions, always short of resources and hurts the head. I really like Woodcraft and other euro thinking games, but this one, it was just too slow and painful for the first half. When the second alien came out we just couldn't be arsed to trigger it so just loaded up the first alien. We also got sick of never having enough of something, money mainly.
But has nobody else noticed the irritating (maybe just my OCD) board fault? The outline for the research tiles on the board are the wrong way round. They've been drawn for when the tiles are face-up like on your player board, but on the board you place them face-down, so the cut corners are on the wrong side….
You can't move a probe from orbiting a planet to landing on a planet
Anything Space themed is the dullest of themes. Aliens: boring. Space art is weak and a bore.
Right, it stays on the wishlist.
@6:04 oh, forget it then
Uranus is actually a large planet. You can fit 63 earths inside it.
64 if you relax.
1:56 I don't think you can move a probe in orbit to the surface of the planet. It's either in orbit forever or a rover on the surface forever.
I hope the probe launch was successful. LOL😂
1. great channel, dude!
2. it seems to me that I already got five games that do the same thing more or less….
3. doesn’t it look like a crossbreed of NCC1701 and a roulette table?
Not a game about chairs then? Disappointed.
So many rules questions on this game and I’m not sure it’s going to work with two players. Lots of complaints about 2 player, round too long, aliens killing the flow, gets boring in last half. My copy is coming in a few days and I am not looking forward to trying to get through it…..update after first play. by far the most overhyped game of 2024. What a disappointment in so many ways. 😡 off to the sell pile.
one minute, 24 seconds for the Uranus joke! nice. My copy of Seti is in the mail and should be here this week. i look forward to that "wink" at the end of the video every time now!
Contact the movie in a box?
Well well , trust matt to set the record for double entry remarks on U tube ,🐦😃🕊️🍺
Dang looks like a regular Martin Scorsese behind the camera today
Nice camera work on this one. Haven't played yet, but everyone who has agrees with you.
